A plastic box for an audio cassette tape that contains three stories from Volume 1 of the Walt Disney Classics series produced by Rainbow Communications. The box also houses three paper booklets with each booklet containing one of the stories featured on the cassette tape. The black box has a paper dust cover which is itself covered by a thin see through plastic sheet, with the front of the white paper dust cover featuring a colour illustration of the Disney character Mickey Mouse at the top right and images of the three story booklets and the cassette tape the box contains at the bottom. The rear of the paper cover contains a printed list of the catalogue numbers for all of the twelve cassette and booklet packages that are available from Rainbow Communications with details of the individual stories that they contain.
